"Friendship"

"Friendship"


If you're ever in a jam, here I am.
If you're ever in a mess, S.O.S.
If you're so happy, you land in jail. I'm your bail.
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships are soon forgot, ours will still be hot.
Da da da da da da dig dig dig.
If you're ever down a well, ring my bell.
If you're ever up a tree, just phone to me.
If you ever loose your teeth when you're out to dine, borrow mine.
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships are soon forgeet, ours will still be great.
Loddle doddle chuck chuck chaa.
If they ever black you're eyes, put me wise.
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose.
And if they ever put a bullet through your brain, I'll complain.
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships are soon forgit, ours will still be it.
Ah loddle doddle hip hap hap.
If you ever loose your mind, I'll be kind.
And if you ever loose your shirt, I'll be hurt.
If you're ever in a mill and get sawed in half, I won't laugh.
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships are are up the crick, ours will still be slick.
Ah loddle doddle woof woof woof, hep hep hep, chopp chop chop, dig dig dig.
Good evening friends.

"Funny (But I Still Love You)"

"Funny (But I Still Love You)"


My dear sweetheart, I'm writing you Aguarde...
Just a few lines to tell you that I'm low
Oh, baby, my baby
Funny, but I still love you

You went away, didn't say goodbye
But I still love you, Lord, I wonder why
Oh, baby, my baby
Funny, but I still love you

I don't know who was right or who was wrong
All I know as I'm so tired, so tired of being alone
But if you care, like I care
Catch the next stream line, bring yourself back here
Oh, baby, my baby
Funny, but I still love you

I miss your lovin'
You know what I mean
Remember how you used to make me scream
Oh, baby, my baby
It's funny, but I still love you

"Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?"

"Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?"


Love makes me treat you the way that I do
Baby, ain't I good to you
Nothing in this world too good for a girl so good and true
Whoa, baby, ain't I good to you
I bought you a fur coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring, yes I did
And a big Cadillac car, and everything
What makes me treat you the way that I do
It must be love baby
That's why I'm so good to you

I bought you a fur coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring,
And a great big Eldorado, and everything
It must be love that makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee,
Baby ain't I good to you

"Girls, Girls, Girls!"

"Girls, Girls, Girls!"


Though our country will never make war
We've a reason that's worth marching for
Not for battle our banner unfurls
But for girls, girls, girls, girls, girls.
When we're marching we never retreat
For we're charging a foe that is sweet!
But we're caught in the swirls
Of the enemy's curls
And surrender to girls, girls, girls.

[Verse (Not heard in the film)]
Ruby lips taste like claret
When they're pressing close to mine.
What a flavor!
I compare it to that oldest vintage wine.
I don't need a book of verses
Or a jug beneath the bough,
And my memory rehearses
Not a moment so sweet as now.

Let us gaze in the wine while it's wet.
Let's do things that we'll live to regret.
Let me dance till the restaurant whirls
With the girls, girls, girls, girls, girls!
When there's wine and there's women and song
It is wrong not to do something wrong!
When you do something wrong,
You must do something right,
And I'm doing all right tonight.

"Give Her A Kiss"

"Give Her A Kiss"


[Lady Frog]
Don't you feel the thrill of something
Something, something in the air?

[Man Frog]
Your eyes entice
I mean they're nice.
I admire your dress, your perfume
And the way you dress your hair!
That's where it ends!
I mean we're friends!

[Birds, Bees, Etc.]
Give her a kiss
Face the issue,
Give her a kiss
Make her kiss you
She'll adore it-
Thank you for it.
Give her a kiss
Why have you lips?
Give her a kiss
Press those two lips.
She's so lovely-
Give her a kiss
Take the lady by storm
You know you can
She'll reply with a warm
"Man, you're my man"
How can you miss?
She will soften,
Chances like this
Don't come often.
Now or never
Give her a kiss.
Take the lady by storm
You know you can
She'll reply with a warm
"Man, you're my man"
How can you miss?
You can make it,
Give her a kiss.
She can take it,
Now or never
Give her a kiss.

"Give It Back To The Indians"

"Give It Back To The Indians"


Old Peter Minuet had nothing to lose when he bought the isle of Manhatten
For twenty-six dollars and a bottle of booze and they threw in the Bronx and Staten
Pete thought that he had the best of the bargin but the poor red man just grinned,
And he grunted "ugh!" meaning okay in his jargon for he knew poor Pete was skinned.
We've tried to run the city....but the city ran away...
And now Peter Minuet
We can't continue it...
Broadway's turning into Coney,
Champagne Charlie's drinking gin,
Old New York is new and phony
Give it back to the Indians!
Two cents more to smoke a Lucky,
Dodging busses keep you thin,
Now New York is simply ducky,
Give it back to the Indians!
Take all the reds, on the boxes made for soap
Whites on Fifth Avenue
Blues down in Wall Street losing hope..
Big bargain today...Chief take it away!
Come you busted city slickers,
Better take it on the chin
Father Nick has lost his knickers
Give it back to the Indians!

[Instrumental Break]

Take all the reds, on the boxes made for soap

Come you busted city slickers,

Give it back to the Indians!

"Glad To Be Unhappy"

"Glad To Be Unhappy"


Look at yourself, if you had a sense of humor, you would laugh to beat the band
Look at yourself, do you still believe the rumor that romance is simply grand?
Since you took it right on the chin, you have lost that bright toothpaste grin
My mental state is all a-jumble, I sit around and sadly mumble
Fools rush in, so here I am, very glad to be unhappy
I can't win, but here I am, more than glad to be unhappy
Unrequited love's a bore, and I've got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore, it's a pleasure to be sad
Like a straying baby lamb, with no mammy and no pappy
I'm so unhappy, but oh, so glad!

"Glow Worm"

"Glow Worm"


Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer.
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer.
Lead us lest too far we wander.
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder.
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer.
Hey, there don't get dimmer, dimmer.
Light the path below, above.
And lead us on to love!

Glow little glow-worm, fly of fire.
Glow like an incandescent wire.
Glow for the female of the species.
Turn on the AC and the DC.
This night could use a little brightnin'.
Light up you little ol' bug of lightnin'.
When you gotta glow, you gotta glow.

Glow little glow-worm, glow.
Glow little glow-worm, glow and glimmer.
Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer.
Thou aeronautical boll weevil.
Illuminate yon woods primeval.
See how the shadows deepen, darken.
You and your chick should get to sparkin'.
I got a gal that I love so.

Glow little glow-worm, glow.
Glow little glow-worm, turn the key on.
You are equipped with taillight neon.
You got a cute vest-pocket mazda.
Which you can make both slow and faster.
I don't know who you took a shine to.
Or who you're out to make a sign to.
I got a gal that I love so.
Glow little glow-worm, glow.

"Goody, Goody"

"Goody, Goody"


So you met someone who set you back on your heels - goody, goody
You met someone and now you know how it feels - goody, goody
You gave him your heart too, just as I gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do
You lie awake just singing the blues all night - goody, goody
And you think that love's a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah, you had it coming to y'a
Goody goody for him, goody goody for me
I hope your satisfied you rascal you, I hope your satisfied 'cause you got yours
